What keeps you going?

Well I got some discouragements from my family members from time to time but they stopped when my first check arrived.

It wasn't a big sum but a few hundred dollars was good enough to get me motivated and move on with this business. I started blogging and learning from those who have succeeded and I have seen my own blog grow quite a bit. You start to gain readership, make friends and get your name into the community. People start buying ads from you... Thats where you get the strength to move on!

Surprisingly I've never received any discouragement from anyone. I'm lucky that my family and friends were all very supportive. They believed in me and I believed in myself.

I give up my job before because I see opportunities online. When Paypal decide to include my country to accept payment it become a big factor to really put my effort to do business alone. Also, I'm a family man and I need to support my family. My family is my source of courage to deal with up and down economy.

I really believe in my self that I can do it that is why I still stand whatever problems that comes. With the support of my wife and believe in me when I started, I started to come up with great ideas. Literally focus on my own problem and cope it gives me another business opportunity. Even there are big job opportunities, I still rejected them and focus on thinking strategies to build my online business. Sometimes life tease you that being emplyed means monthly income but the truth is, it's just a temporary solution to monthly expenses. I'm also fortunate that I know programming and some technical stuff plus partial business management and sales that is why I know how to handle business problems. I just don't give up.

sense of accomplishment for one great media plateform can be widely used my clients, supplier. Of cource more money for happly life, that's the motive for me now.

well we have faced alot of problems in my life, but my string believe in myself keep me going

it encourage me to work and work and im sure someday i will get success

Believe in yourself, stay motivated and don't care about what what people say!

What keeps me going is the feedback I get from clients. I admit I get the defeatist attitude from my family, but my clients love me and keep coming back, so theyre the ones that make me get back in the studio everyday and keep coming up with things.

"Some people say I have attitude - maybe I do. But I think
you have to. You have to believe in yourself when no
one else does - that makes you a winner right there."

Venus Williams
US tennis champion

I agree very much with what Venus Williams said... "You have to believe in yourself when no one else does".

My motivation is to prove others wrong when they don't believe in me []

Call me simple I know, but I will give just about anything to make a full time living with an Internet business. I believe in myself and my success. Therefore I have made promises to my family that I fully intend to fulfill. To create the lifestyle for my family that I can be proud of is my ultimate dream.

(Money isn't everything to me. The more I have the more I can help others in need.

Its my girlfriend who makes me feel strong everyday.. That makes me keep goin

My mind keeps me going, I use it wisely.

Great Question. I think the most prominent thing that keeps me going is my faith. I do believe that there is a force that's all powerful and all knowing that if we are tuned in will guide our activities. I also believe that the pictures we are creating on the inside will determine what shows up on the outside. So I have choosen to select the internal pictures as my source of reference. Actually This is my real world.

Absolute Bulldog Determination Ryda. Plain and Simple!

The most important thing which keeps me going is me. For one reason or another I haven't had much support from other people.

However I've always believed in what I'm doing and that's the most important thing for me. Even if the whole World disagreed with me I'd keep striving on because I know what I'm doing is a good thing. Many people are ignorant. Many people are jealous. Many people won't listen to you because of stereotypes. Many people will hear one thing and assume something completely false.

But at the end of the day, if you know who you are and what you're all about, and if what you're doing is something more important than yourself, you can take all that in your stride and leave something great behind before you die.

Like everyone else said, by believing in my self. No one thought I could do what I have achieved, but my motivation was proving them wrong and I did just that. Now in proving to them that I could do it, they now support me

It was no easy ride though, took a lot of time and hard work.

By sticking to what I wanted I achieved it, eventually.

Word of advise: never give up never surrender.

Money. Seeing it in my bank account. Feeling it in my hand. Money = security. I sleep with a nice smile when I am secure.

I don't wanna sound pompous but discouraging words or demoralizing attitude doesn't effect me in my professional life. I think except for the people who are really close to you, other people are not worth paying attention to as far as motivation is concerned. I have found that more than half of the time people react on the basis of the unresolved emotions in their heart like jealousy, insecurity or a bad experience they had in the past.

At the end of the day, every person is different and we should make our own path. But if you have people who depend on you for financial support, then I think their opinion should matter too.

It is the visualization of my success that keeps my passion burning and keep on going. People can be throwing discouragements saying that I can't achieve this or that, but deep down I know success is waiting for me and all I need to do is to take one step at a time and do my best and reach for it.

the flow of time keeps me going.. Just knowing that life can get better and time is moving forward helps me!

what keeps me going???....My goals (gotta chunk it down to half a dozen, for me its my body, my family, my career, my business, my finances and my spirituality) and my faith (which is believing when there is no reason to believe)
just my 2 cents

This burning desire to create a
better life for myself and my
children...

I want to teach them the
power of thought and how
they can achieve anything
if they really focus on it.

Peace and Love

the universe works in mysterious ways, the bigger your goal the harder you will be tested. if what you want is to become something much greater than most people ever expected from you, than you will get there only after you have been tested by them all.

my greatest success has only come after the greatest test of my will.

don't give up. and remember you can only grow once you get out of your comfort zone.

Knowing that my efforts will benefit my children

A good cigar. also I live right on the beach of lake michigan in Indiana so I get awesome sunsets and great walks to think my way thru matters and lots of lake effect snow

Yes, my partner when I decided, after being sacked from a job I really disliked, was extremely antagonistic about my starting in IM. In fact, he went so far as to not speak to me for days, when he did speak it wasn't pleasant (cannot print what he would say *censored* plus too negative to want to go into.

Friends where not overally supportive either, though some were 'well meaning' but felt it was just the 'lucky' chosen few, who made it in IM.

I followed my dream, shut my ears, literally with headphones at times, to my partners nastiness and kept working, focused and allowed nothing to stop me or stand in my way.

I agree with the Rich Villian, the Universe is mysterious, my goal is very big and I have been well and truly tested in all areas. Both personally and on the technical side of IM. But I have faced all the challenges, stayed positive and made it through a stronger and more determined person.

I love what I do and I think that is the 'secret' to achieving success. Being able to stay on course no matter what. I would say to anyone 'follow your passion' that will keep you on course.

My determination!

believe in God
believe in prophet
obey to my parents
believe in myself + positive thinking
never give up
+ don't pressure yourself if somebody humiliate you.. but take this as a lesson before succeed +

What keeps me going are my kids. My daughter turned me on to this forum and the IM after years of Offline Marketing. I love that she showed me how to get my joy started back! It is good to know you instill greatness without even realizing it! Thank you Cori! xoxxox Mom

For me it would be for my children. I keep on striving hard to be a better father to my 3 little sweet angels. It gets frustrating at times, but once I see my children happy with what I have provided them - the hardships and frustrations just fades away

positive thinking
ability to visualize my goals - i mean really see them in my head before i even start working towards them.
support from family and friends
feedback from Affiliates and clients - the good and bad.
happy employees
managing failures
a supreme power to keep me focused and humble
great surf after a long day
sunrise
sunset
love
not in that order but as i thought about it.

There are different things to keep you going and for me it's bit complicated. I watched movie "The Secret" and truly believe each and every word of it. I shared the ideas expressed in the movie with all arround me. I keep on striving hard to be a better result orinted by following the secrets in the movie. It gets frustrating at times, but once I see my goals met, the hardships and frustrations remains no where...

Nothing to lose. I am basically jobless and since I have started internet marketing about a year and a half ago, I am really got nothing left and got not much choice as well.

well, my motivation is simple: my dream to have jeep one day

Hello Omari Taylor Here,

To be successful online you need a big "Why!" The reason you're doing what you're doing and will be able to press on through any obstacles.

What has kept me going until I starting making money online is my goal buy my dream home and car. An really once the ball starts rolling thing really start to happen. As long as you continue to stay consistent and persistent. One thing that people do is once they get some results they slow down or go on vacation. Don't do that. When you get results keep pushing and marketing even more.

Best Wishes to Everyone.

You can do it! Keep your head up and remember those that TRULY love you will support you when you're up and when you're down.

Someone who really loves and cares for you will support you all the way to the top, even if you're making nothing, even if you've lost thousands of dollars.

A real friend family member or partner will tell you to revise your strategy if you're not making money but they won't tell you you to quit.

Anyone who does doesn't deserve your love.

You are a warrior! A champion for going after your dreams and persevering despite the negative feedback from others. You are going to make it so just keep going.

Try to surround yourself with people who do believe in you, you are as enthusiastic about internet marketing as you are. Connect with people the way you are now and also on a more personal level.

That should help ease the load quite a bit, if you have someone else you can talk to who is in our industry it can get you through that initial hump that we all had to go through.

Just remember that we all have a strong need to belong in our dominating social environments and that we will do practically anything-subconciously of course! To fit in with the groups that we are a part of!

So make sure you spend time connecting with people in our industry, find some in your area if you can, or in your country at least.

That can keep you going!

Also try reading motivational content, attend free internet marketing training or if your group holds sessions attend those, we have training three times a week if you need it.

Also you could try watching a you tube video on something like how to succeed in mlm or internet marketing, get out there the way you are now, and reach out to people who have been there and made it to the other side. They will help you through;-)

You'll get there, persevere it will all be worth it

Faith, belief and hope.

Simply put MONEY BABY!

The one thing you learn in life is there is no giving up! Because basically if you stop (by giving up) life just passes you until you are ready to jump back on the roller coaster.

Friends, family and a couple of business mentors to keep me motivated.

Hardest thing is to learn to believe in yourself and that you really can achieve what you set your mind on doing.

Strong people who are role models are crucial!
